[Guest post] Cabaretbijou Comes To Vancouver October 2022 to March 2023

The following is a guest post from an author who wishes to be known as The Magic Demon.

--

Cabaretbijou Comes To Vancouver October 2022 to March 2023

Their poster says it all.

"Immerse yourself in the wildly extravagant world of Cabaret Bijou.

"An intoxicating fusion of cabaret, comedy, and cuisine with world class Aerial Artists, Contortionists, Jugglers, Musicians, etc etc.

"It's Canada's only Gourmet Cabaret Sensation."

Vancouver Oct 28th 2022 to March 5th 2023.

Under the big (heated) tent in Vanier Park.

Magic too is promised so what's not to like? Food and cabaret in a high class circus-like environment sounds pretty much like ideal entertainment to me.

PCAM in the Mission City Record

Form the October 18th article "Huge magician convention coming to Mission" by Chris Campbell in the Mission City Record:

The 89th Annual Pacific Coast Association of Magicians will be holding its convention in Mission from Nov. 10 to 13.

The conference covers the entire Pacific coast, along with countries including Canada, U.S., Australia, Japan and thousands of members across the Pacific Rim.

The conference is organized by two prolific kids entertainers, as Norden the Magician and the Great Gordini, who combined have over 40 international awards for their acts and contributions to the magic community.

Norden wanted to bring the conference to his home town of Mission this year and put in a bid to the committee.

“I’m very excited about this event,” said Mike Norden.

A comedy show will kick off the event on Nov 10, starring YouTube comedian Wes Barker. This show will take place in the ballroom at the Best Western.

Then on Nov 12 is the big show, called Hocus Pocus, at the Clarke Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Starring international magic celebrities that have appeared on Penn & Teller Fool Us, Ellen, Comedy Central, Big Trick Energy and more.
